Quantum ‘clock’ finds tunneling photons don’t freeze in time
In an experiment that challenges a key prediction of Bohmian mechanics, scientists found that tunneling photons move at a finite speed, rather than remaining stationary inside a barrier.
Going to Zero Gravity to Prove Gravity Is a Lie
Einstein's revolutionary insight was that gravity isn't a force pulling objects together, but rather the result of mass and energy warping the very fabric of spacetime.
Scientists flip quantum switch for terahertz-speed electronics
Scientists have discovered a way to switch a quantum material between an insulator and a conductor on demand, a breakthrough that could lead to electronics 1,000 times faster.
What If Reality Isn’t Built from the Bottom Up?
A mysterious 17-order-of-magnitude gap at the foundation of reality challenges our most fundamental scientific principle: that big things are simply the sum of their smaller parts.
What if the Big Bang wasn’t the beginning? Our research suggests it may have taken place inside a black hole
Vadim Sadovski/Shutterstock Enrique Gaztanaga, University of Portsmouth The Big Bang is often described as the explosive birth of…
